Prince llounty Hospital Ladies Aid Report

Ioilowiiy is tho presidents report of tho Prince Count! Helium's Lsdles Aid for the yes: ending M17. 3i. 1048. i It is a great ‘satisfaction to be able to report that another year of steady progress has just ended for our society. The splendid co-oper- ation of our officers. the very ef- fective work of our secrete-r? and our treasurer and the untiring efforts of our collectors and con- veners, all contributed to our con- tinued success.

As I relate the different projects and activities which we have undertaken during tho year the Aid members will more fully real- ire the splendid work they have accomplished. Nine regular -and two special meetings were held during the year with an average attendance of twelve members. This average is slightly higher than last year. but we would like to have the attendance doubled-

Although we seldom come in contact with the members of the Okto Club. we know and admire greatly the splendid work they are doing for the nursery floor of the hospital, and wo hero extend to them best wishes foi- their future endeavours. I would like to thank especially our treasurer, Mrs. Keith Compton, who has such an import- ant office to fill and she always has our financial statements pre- sented to us in a satisfactory man- ner. Our secretary. Mrs. Donald Lidstcne, is most efficient and ex- acting in her recording of the min- utes and faithfully looks after tiie advertising in connection with the work of our Auxiliary. At the same time I wish to thank all the mem- bers of the executive for their zeal and loyal support 0f the work we have been called upon to do during the year. Recently it was our good fortune to have given to us for

Especially would we urge the young active women of the town and the County to join us, for it is to them that we, the elder members. must soon ‘throw the torch". Keiisington has rte-organized its Hospital Aid 1nd may I, on behalf of our Society, extend the very best wishes for success in its future undertaking.

I shall now endeavour to give a full report of our activities during the past year. We held our annual Tag Days on the Saturday previous to July 1 and on Dominion Day. The two days‘ receipts netted the splendid sum of $624.88. We had wonderful workers during both days and to them, to the man- agement of the Trotting Park for allowing our taggers into the grounds free of charge-also to the Staff of the Bank of Nova Scotia who so kindly took charge of and counted the contents of the cans goes our deep appreciation. In the Spring we organized and sponsor- ed a Lcague of Mercy and held the Gift and Display Tea. on Novem- ber 19 in liipworth Hall which was generously loaned to us frce Os charge by tiie stewards of the Un- ited Uhurch. It was largely due to the wonderful management. and untiring zeal of our central ‘con- vencr. Mrs. Walter Callbeck, that this initial League of Mercy dis- play proved such a success. To her and to all the converters from the different churches who showed such interest. in the League we ex- press our gratitude and,tr t they are again organizing for e 19-18 League Display Tea. In November we held our annual Rummage Sale ivhich netted us $170.39. As usual we made a donation towards tiie nurses Christmas treat. raising the sum from $30 to $35. On the last Saturday of the months of Jan- uary. February and March we neld our three Ward Pantry Sales and the amount 0t $134.91 was realized from all three. On the first Satur- day ln May we again held a suc- cessful Rummage Sale, this time adding to our funds $161.60. '

Through the years since the School of Nursing was established in connection with the Prince County Hospital, it has been the Aida pleasure and privilege to sponsor the Graduation Exercises and the dance which always fol- lows in honor of tiie Graduating Class. This year the dance and ex- ercises were held on the same eve- ning, May 25, both events proving very successful. The graduates at the exercises in their white uni- forms who looked very smart were presented with beautiful bouquets of pink roses by tiie charming little Miss Jennifer Tantori. Here I would like especially to empress our thanks to Mr, R. L. Shaw and Mrs. Gib- son of R. T. Holman, Ltd., for their artistic arrangement of the Aud- ltorium stage for the graduation, also to the committee in charge of the refreshments and sale of candy, and to all otheiywho help- ed in any way to make that “eve- ning of all evenings" in the lives of these five young graduates, re- main lull of long and ha_ppy me- mories. During the year we spent the sum of $1820.00. You will see by the treasurers report the man- ner in which this money was ex- pended. I would like to express my gratitude to the convener of the buying committee, Mrs. W, P. Callaghan. for her ever wiiling help when called upon to give time and tiiought to the purchasing of linen, etc. We are most fortunate to have Mrs. Boehner as Superin- tendent for she gives us such good advice as to the many ways we can be of asistance to her and the hospital generally and it is indeed a pleasure to try and help her in every way possible. ;

It has been the privilege of your president during the year to at- tend the monthly meetings of the Board of Trustees and I would like to thank the Board for its kind courtesy and consideration. It ls only by working together that we can learn to understand and ap- preciate each otherspmblems and

IMUTS DEFEAT!!!) _

Jon christian Bmuts. Prime Min- ister of the Union of South Africa since i080, was defeated in elec- tions for Parliament and as re- signed as Premier. The Fie d Mar- shal loot his constituency of Stan- dertnn, ‘Transvaal. which he has represented for I4 years. Officials believe the 70-year-old statesman might have lost the election when hi fwolﬂioed the new stoic of Israel-contrary to Sijitish policy- ﬂll? two days before balloting. There are many English voters in Bteiiderton.

A New York job counselor says tiie girl who is hunting for the right career should first write down the things she likes to do best. those that give her a real feeling of achievement and then find ut what they mean in. relation to he Job she thinks she wants.

That's sound advice of course, writes an observer. And it applies as much to the joib of housekeep- ing as to any other job open to women.

The trouble is girls are much more inclined to consider what they do \vcil and what they enjoy doing when they are choosing a. business career than when they are contemplating taking on the 10b of housewife.

Many a girl who has no training and no inclination toward liome- making gets marricd and settles down to a full-time homemakiiig caresr—and then wonders why she is frustrated and bored.

If she facod- the fact before mar- riage that she hated housekeeping and that having that as tier main job in iife would bore her to death she might work out a living and working arrangement.

She might for instance, plan to combine marriage and a career. 0r she might discover that she doesn't really hate housework, but only dreads it because she has not been properly trained for it.

The housewife, as well as the career woman. will iiot be success- ful or happy if she takes on a job that involves work she dislikes or isn't trained to do.

QLEANSE THOROUGHLY BEFORE REMAKING '

If you find it necessary to re-do your face while you are away from the conveniences of your home, where you could proceed with a thorough cleansing routine, you can do a. good emergency job with the items in your purse, that is, if you have equipped your purse one- quatcly with these refresher needs.

Besides your usual cosmetics, carry a compact filled with little

of makeup, get rid of all traces of the old by wiping it off with one of these lotion-soaked pads. Then go over the surface with a fresh pad. Wait a few seconds for the skin to dry and then apply a new coat of powder and paint!-

Bome girls believe in exercise as well as lubrication and massage to get rid of those drooping lines which appear between the nose and the corners of the mouth. After working a light cream into the skin with an upward and outward mo- tion, blow a feather into the air and keep it there by blowing for ten minutes.
